Watch the Line

In most cases, when traveling from one town to another there is a break between the towns, and this end of developed area usually also indicates the boundary between the school districts. However, keep aware on the west side of Springfield that West Bypass is generally the line between the Springfield school district and the Willard school district. This means that all of the development (including quite a bit of new development) on the West side of West Bypass, some still in the Springfield city limits, is actually in the Willard school district. Many of these houses are looked at by first time buyers.

This isn’t to say that one school district is better than the other. In fact, in the last few years, Willard has become very desirable, and has had an impact on property values in the area. Our only intent here is to make clear to other people that may not already know what the many people with homes on the western side of West Bypass are actually in the Willard school district. 

This line travels on west bypass from Sunshine to Nichols Street, and then varies somewhat east until you get to Farm Road 112, a little north of Kearny street. There are also some other areas, such as an area by Ashcroft Estates, that are within the Willard school district.
